So Trump either has to destroy a country tonight or has to back down again making his threats even more empty.

More likely, some announcement of "progress on negotiations" for another extension

Man - I need to get on the thethe vacation plan

Get your stock purchases ready. Find obscure kalshi and polymarket bets related to Hormuz and Iran.
 
Destroying a country’s civilian infrastructure seems like a moral failure and strategic disaster.

His hope is probably by destroying the infrastructure the people will rise against the IRG with no electricity, transit for good, and then he can come in and be the savior later on.
 
This ends with our acceptance that tolls to pass are the new norm. Irans been waiting for this for a long time and we gave them a legitimate reason to do it. They will make more money off it than Obama could have ever conceived of giving them. Trump got played because he is a retard.

We are in a loop.

1. Trump claims war end is near.

2. Iran says fuck you no its not.

3. Trump makes threats and sets deadline.

4. Trump claims theres nothing or no one left to bomb.


Rinse. Wash. Repeat. He cant gaslight his way out of it and thats the only strategy he knows.
 
Pakistan PM might want to double check before copy/pasting what Trump regime sent to them to post. Trump is said to be considering the 2 week ceasefire that he sent to Pakistans PM lol.

There it is. He's suspended bombing for two weeks.
 
So Trump’s saying Iran’s 10 point is the basis of a deal. Seems like a lot of concessions to a country you militarily annihilated. Let’s just say I would wait to buy into the stock market.

1—Commitment to non-aggression
2—Continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz
3—Acceptance of uranium enrichment
4—Lifting of all primary sanctions
5—Lifting of all secondary sanctions
6—Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions
7—Termination of all Board of Governors resolutions
8—Payment of compensation to Iran
9—Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region
10—Cessation of war on all fronts, including against Hezbollah in Lebanon

I hope we move forward with a deal, but what the fuck are we doing here? In the retelling of this period in history books, I hope they convey that Iran was nuked because the President of the United States was personally offended by the television coverage of his ceasefire.
